Can someone help me fix it, Pls!!!

First of all get Zoner HL compiling tools. Use them instead of quake's tools.(Hlcsg instead of qcsg...ect)
They are much better and people in here only know the names Zoner tools give all the errors.

And here is an explanation:

This can refer to several different errors:

1. The "too many wads" as mentioned above. 8 wads in WC/Hammer is a good limit, more may cause this error among others. If you are using more than 8 wads you can use Wally to combine the extra wads into one custom wad.

2. Too long a path/name for the map or compiling tools. Only a limited amount of memory is set aside for the path/names. Solution is to move the compiling tools or map into a shallow folder.

3. Having a space in a path/name. Examples: frequently Program Files is part of the path name. Compiling tools do not like the space between "program" and "files". Solutions are to either use the MSDOS pathname, or to move the offending files from under the spaced folder, or put quotes " " around the whole path name in WC/Hammer so that windows uses it right. If your map has the space in its name (eg. Bob map), remove the space and change it to (Bobmap).

I happend to find it on tommy's site, an error that accures only in the q-tools.

I say, why don't you try using a shorter name, long names are the second reason for this error, as mentioned above.
Try names with only one or two words. Maybe only with the initials, example- mwb.rmf

How do you combine wads with wally?

I tried using the Zoner hl compiling tools but they gave me another error Details below:

Thanks for any help.

Oh dear, the access denied error. I hate it, I never could narrow down all the reasons to it. It only happens when there is something wrong in the compile setting, or the build program setting. Rearly sometime wrong with the map, but then it would give another kind of error message. All I can say is check very carefully the compiling tutorial, reconfigure the compiling, configuration and build program, if you've done it right it will work, if not post screenies of bothe your configuration window and build program.

Ok here are the pics:

Use only one fgd file! The only one the game needs, you probebly used entities that aren't even in the game. And in the build program you must place the maps in the counter strike/<mod folder>/maps in your case the mod is condition zero.

tried. still the same problem. should i use my administrator account?
